Maya at the Indoor playground

I took Ms. Maya to the indoor playground yesterday, one of my Groupon deals, one more visit left! Now many school systems are out so I was afraid it would be crowded but late in the day, only one family was there, one that is trying to give the Duggars a run for the money. Pregnant mom already has ten kids all running all over the place there. The older girls were dressed in long skirts and had names like Charity, Faith, Chasity etc. There is a family like that in Josh's neighborhood (often seen running laps around the neighborhood) but no, they were from a different community. Most of the kids had red hair; the oldest girl was especially sweet to Maya. The boys were hellions though, especially one of them. At least Grandma was there to control him; mom looked away.

Love her face here. You can see that she is gradually getting some hair. The place has dress up clothes thus the yellow and green skirts.

About me

I am a mother of 3, wife of 1, and grandmother of 6. For years, I had been a medicinal chemist. Not long after I was retired early, I found myself with triple negative breast cancer. My struggles with it are in this blog along with the joys and trials of being a mother and grandmother. I love to be physically active, travel, read, and garden. Although my degrees are in chemistry and cellular biology not medicine, I keep up with the medical literature and report herein watching closely for good news against this deadly disease. As time goes on, my stay in Cancerland has become more a bad memory than a reality. This blog has since morphed into a photo blog in which I try to capture moments of beauty in my life.
